Tonight, I was walking Buffy in the yard between the manse and the church on a nice and cool twilight. While she was busy sniffing around, I looked up at the sky and saw the big, white moon through the trees. I ran inside to get the camera and learned that it needed to be charged. Rats! So I grabbed my iPhone and took a couple of snapshots.

It looked like a full moon, but I wasn’t quite sure. On the Internet, I looked it up, and we are two days away from a full moon.  I wish y’all could see the moon through the trees; it was a beautiful view. Granted it’s not the best quality picture, but here it is.

Also I took some pictures of Buffy as we came back into the house. She’s so cute, especially after a bath. Here’s one of them.

We chose to buy a live tree this year. It’s a Norfolk Pine and is about 3 feet tall. It’s cute and simple, like us.

For ornaments, we hung that were light and small. On top of the tree, there are two doves from our wedding cake, a crocheted angel from the first Christmas party in Staunton, and the Moravian star. Also, one Moravian candle is sitting in the window.  We also hung silver garland to give it some pizazz.

As I was cleaning up the camera’s memory, I came across pictures that I hadn’t uploaded onto the computer. When we left Staunton, I took the last pictures of our apartment because I realized we didn’t take any pictures of the place. It’s really not much to take a picture of.

Our Old Place

This is the old apartment where we lived for 5 years. It was nice while it lasted. On a side note: I haven’t seen my car that clean since the move. That is shiny! Because of all the driving I do, my car gets dirty quickly, thanks to the coal trucks.

You can see the Blue Ridge Mountains through the trees. Directly across from our old apartment is a small patch of trees. Buffy and Diana used to spend their time in the woods.

Here are the pictures of our new place.
